Lying Road Sign!

The Long Day

Great - I have to go interstate on business; the same day I'm due to head up north for a dirt bike weekend with the team.

[sign in to see URL]: wake up
[sign in to see URL]: drive to train station (normally drive to airport but can't risk the traffic on the way home)
[sign in to see URL]: reach station at same time as a huge thunderstorm. Spend 15 minutes watching the rain pelt down until the train arrives.
[sign in to see URL]: reach airport - no luggage so I can check in via e-check (takes 30 seconds)
[sign in to see URL]: plane leaves on time
[sign in to see URL]: reach destination; driver waiting to pick me up
[sign in to see URL]: reach the interstate office. It's chaotic.
[sign in to see URL]: have done all I can - head back to the airport
[sign in to see URL]: arrive at airport - plane delayed
[sign in to see URL]: called for boarding - boarding pass does not work. I find someone with the same name as me asked for an earlier flight. Somehow they tranferred me to the earlier flight and sold my seat on this flight. Anxious time waiting while they try and find me a seat. Fortunately a last-minute cancellation occurs and I'm on the plane
[sign in to see URL]: finally take off after everyone waits for the last passenger to show up
[sign in to see URL]: back in town
[sign in to see URL]: return to car
[sign in to see URL]: home - get changed
[sign in to see URL]: finish loading car and bike trailer
[sign in to see URL]: arrive at farm. Have a couple of drinks with the fellas
[sign in to see URL]: bed

Money Making

I found out that there isn't a patent on gravity so I submitted one. Now, everytime someone falls down, I get royalties. So, I hang around bars a lot, collecting from drunks at the end of the night. The parachuting schools and clubs hate me.
